Charlie Davies Scores Twice in MLS Debut

Charlie Davies scored twice in his DC United debut last night, after coming on as a substitute in the second half. It was Davies’ first competitive match since he suffered multiple traumatic injuries in an Oct. 2009 car accident. It’s hard to gleam much from the goals. The first was a penalty. On the second, his marker fell over, but seeing him hit the net twice and bust out his trademark stanky leg celebration was surely an optimistic sign.

The fact that he was out there playing was, by itself, remarkable. Seeing the pics of his wreck last year, I doubt many would have thought he’d be able to resume his career.

Is he on loan from Sochaux or did the French club let him go?

He’s on a one-year loan

Haven’t seen what the attendance was in Vancouver for the Whitecaps game vs TFC, but looked like a good sized crowd.

Watched most of the match, not comparable to the quality of the European game, but enjoyed it.

gotta give it up to the canadians. They are surprisingly good soccer fans. Well done. I have no doubt that whitecaps and toronto will have great fan support if they continue to put a good product out on the field.
